What are the main symptoms of atrophic vulvar leukoplakia

Among the classifications of vulvar leukoplakia, there is a type called atrophic vulvar leukoplakia, which is a relatively common type. But do you know what the symptoms of this type of vulvar leukoplakia are at different stages?

Experts suggest that the main symptoms of stage I atrophic leukoplakia are not obvious. Some patients have mild itching, no white lesions appear, and the vulva has atrophy that is not easy to be detected by the naked eye. The typical symptoms of stage II atrophic leukoplakia are mild atrophy of the vulva, which usually starts from the labia majora, minora, and clitoris. The elasticity of the labia majora and minora is reduced, and the surface wrinkles are reduced or absent. The vulvar pruritus is relatively mild. Due to atrophy, there may be dryness of the vulva and discomfort during sexual intercourse. In addition, the skin of the vulva has localized hypopigmentation, which is multiple or flaky.

The symptoms of stage III atrophic vulvar leukoplakia are the most severe. The labia majora of the vulva are flat, the labia minora disappear, and the clitoris shrinks and becomes smaller or adheres. The urethral opening atrophies, and in severe cases, urinary incontinence occurs. The vaginal opening atrophies, and sexual life becomes difficult. Some patients also have anal leukoplakia and atrophy, causing the skin around the anus to have no wrinkles, reduced elasticity, and anal fissures during defecation. About 50% of patients have large areas of hypopigmentation on the vulvar skin.
